Join Ascend to explore a curated marketplace of vetted crypto businesses and promising Web3 projects available for acquisition.
Web3 is rewiring the internet’s value layer. As products shift to protocol-based backends, users become co-owners and participants and not just customers.
dApps and DeFi open new models: peer-to-peer payments, creator-led distribution, and on-chain incentives (staking, liquidity provisioning). And we’re still early in the cycle.
Ascend is a specialized M&A firm for crypto and Web3 companies. We source and curate acquisition targets, then guide investors from origination and evaluation through negotiation and close—so you can focus on selecting the best opportunities.
Access a diverse pipeline of Web3 startups and crypto businesses vetted for fundamentals, valuation, leadership, business model, traction, and legal/financial hygiene.
Move beyond public markets and traditional VC. Add targeted exposure to protocols, infrastructure, DeFi, gaming, and tooling sectors driving the next wave of innovation.
Evaluate seed and early-stage opportunities where growth optionality is highest. Entering earlier can produce outsized return profiles compared with later rounds.
Many transactions include structured participation (advisory, governance, or board involvement). Align capital with conviction and help shape strategic direction.
Receive concise memos, market context, and direct intros to founders and key operators. Our team supports your process end to end with data rooms and coordinated diligence.
From LOI to definitive agreements, we standardize documentation, manage timelines, and coordinate counterparties with transparent process management and secure handling.
